Since there isn't a boatload of 3D content available yet, I figured I'd start a thread where we can share the 3D content we've made with each other. Here is a video I made of my friend's salt water fish tank the day I got the phone, and it looks awesome! He insisted on keeping the lights in the room off because the "tank is prettier", but due to the low ambient light, the image is sometimes blurry while the lenses focused, but most of the video is very good.

Sorry, but I had to zip it up because if not, the link would start playing the video directly on the phone and it would buffer a lot.

I can....I'm uploading it now. I wanted to offer the option to download the file directly because with a slow connection, the video will buffer a lot. When it's done uploading, I'll add a link for YouTube, too.
Edit: YouTube link added to OP.
great video, watched it on my pc with glasses.. nice fish tank if its yours too
Oh, you saw it with glasses? I'm dying to see what the videos look like that way. When the fish cross the screen, do they pop out at you?
That's my buddy's tank, by the way. He's still setting it up (according to him; I don't know much about salt water tanks) and he plans on adding a lot more fish and live corals. It is a very nice set-up, though.
They pop out a little bit, there is a definite depth to the whole tank with the fish being in front of it though and unlike a lot of the videos I've seen with these glasses the colors look great.. the fish stand out a lot.
I'm getting double image in the YouTube....

That looks awesome man. Tell your buddy nice tank. Salt water tanks are a ***** to keep up too. Peace my fellow Cubano
I played the video through my PS3, and it worked fine. Some of the camera motion resulted in a bit of blur (maybe from the camera trying to hold focus, not sure), but the fish looked good and the tank had some impressive depth. The coral was very cool.
From an artistic standpoint, it seems like less overall motion would result in a better experience. Foreground motion was not a problem (fish), but when the whole scene moved, it was a little blurry.
I found the mpo file format works better for pics on the pc with the red and blue glasses.

what color glases do you need to see the images in 3d on your computer? the red blue, or magenta green, Im guessing the standard red blue, but not sure.
Look at this picture through your phone. Its sooo trippy, the flowers are popping out at you. It takes a few seconds to focus
So when we upload 3D pics/videos we can view them in 3D on a computer or TV with the aid of 3D glasses? Just want clarification on this. And as someone said earlier do we just need red/cyan glasses?

The same thing happened to one of my friends, but I don't know why. It works fine on my phone. He said that he went to YouTube via the browser and was able to see it, but using the YouTube app he got double images. Very weird. YouTube app works fine for me with this video.

I could not agree with you more. This was the first video I shot with it.....we'll have to keep this in mind in the future. However, as in the OP, the low light in the room was not helping much, either. A fixed position or panning across the tank more slowly would have yielded a much better video.

Yup......I'm pretty sure the ones you need are red/blue. If anyone knows otherwise, feel free to chime in.
I view videos on youtube with left eye on the left, then view like a stereogram so your eyes relax
for mpo files I load them into Sterephoto maker (freeware) where I can view in the same way as videos or I can save them out as jpeg or jps and view in the same way. This software also allows you to view with any type of coloured glasses (orange/blue, cyan/red, cyan/green etc)
Personally, I feel if you can view a stereogram then you can view these files off the phone with no glasses

I couldn't get it to focus right. I think the pic was taken to close, maybe. I tried taking some 3D pics of some of the live corals in my boy's fish tank, but I would have to get really close and the pics came out kinda like this one.
I originally read somewhere that even with glasses you can't view 3D content on a non 3D monitor.

I don't see those options on the YouTube app, but using the browser they are there. Good to know! I always thought the "3D" was an icon and not a functional button.
The 3d images and videos on my phone doesnt really work all the time. The two images dont really line up properly. It seems like the phone is having convergence issues or something. The images look somewhat 3D but there is a lot of double images and ghosting. Nothing like when I got it out of the box. The 3d effect was perfect. Sometimes a hard reset will tame it, even tried a factory reset but the problem keeps coming back. Does anyone else have this issue?
i too have this issue.
My hypothesis, is that it cant or didnt auto focus correctly
EDIT:
Also i have the "out of box" software. these OTAs might have fixed some 3D rendering software

i went to a baseball game yesterday and took some pics... i seriously have to cross my eyes to see a solid picture. it seems the 3D camera works well for pics between 3 to 50ft away, anything farther seems to strain your eyes when trying to focus. The players were doubled (with lots of space between them) and focusing before taking the pic isn't that accurate(even in 2D), the samsung galaxy s has much MUCH better focus abilities. Took a pic of the city skyline and it wasn't as crisp as i thought it would be
i hope software updates in the future improve this (ie the camera from the new mytouch)

I have all the OTA updates. It's a real problem and I think more people have it than realize. But as long as its a software issue I can hold off on trading it in. My handset is perfect as far as build, so if its not fixed in a few weeks I'll just exchange it as defective.

Another symptom is that 3D pictures in the gallery don't work in portrait. It just shows the two pictures interlaced together with no 3D effect at all.

You can adjust the image after you take it. Use the magic wand and align 3d image. Pretty simple.

I've seen a video on youtube that looked like you describe, but it seemed to be a fluke, most of the other things looked as I'd expect.
Our cameras are fixed and can't adjust for different distances like our eyes can so the 3d effect will be lost of trying to capture somethin far away....
As far as 3d in portrait it works but it wasn't meant to be seen that way
Bussin Caps n 3D
I've notice this also but I call it a bad take on a picture. Just like it was stated above the camera might not have focused correctly. Usually another take does it. And I've noticed that looking at 3D content doesn't strain my eyes like before because I trained my eyes for this this type of media. Now I could see a 3D pic in an instant.
My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!
Nah its not a bad take and pictures are being taken properly. I know this because after a hard reset everything shows up fine for a minute or two before reverting back. (3d effect in landscape but not spaced properly so lots of ghosting and double images, no 3d effect AT ALL in portrait just shows two interlaced photos.) I know the 3d isn't optimal in portrait but its not working for me, period.

I'm wondering if I'm alone on this... Coming from the evo 4g, I am extremely underwhelemed by the quality of the camera on this phone.
It has a hard time not blurring things when you take it's picture, whereas my evo could literally snap a picture of a roller coaster at full speed with ease.
It doesn't expose properly and leaves flares everywhere and washed out areas of the picture, if the whole picture isn't destroyed.
You can forget about low light situations, if it's even at dusk the camera won't be able to see anything without a flash.
And then the camera button... Oh my. When I try to use it (and maybe I just have clumsy hands), I can't hold the phone still and then the half way down to focus feature always screws me up. If I press it all the way down, it doesnt bother focusing, it just takes a picture in whatever focus it has. So, I have to carefully press it halfway down, not move, and then take it after. FRUSTRATION.
Sorry for the vent, but the camera was one of my favorite features on the 4g and this phone has taken it from me... 3d or not.
I love the camera button. Just hold the camera button down to the first click for 2 seconds, let it focus, the fully press it down and keep your hand still. You'll get a good picture if you do this. But if you move your hand while its taking the picture, then of course youll get a blurry picture. That's user error, not camera error.

I have the same issue with camera button. I now ONLY use the screen button and it works much better.
I'm not sure it's a shake issue or not. But when using the camera button the often come out blurry and when using the screen button they are fine.
Adjusting settings does help but the camera still sucks balls. I'll take iPhone 4 cam vs this one any day.

I agree totally! The camera on this phone sucks just like it did on the OG Evo. Who the hell has time to play with all of those settings, taking numerous pictures of the same thing trying to get it right. He is correct we are not professional photographers and if we were we wouldn't be using our phone to do it with. We just want a simple point & shoot camera that gives us good pictures. Even as much as it pains me to say, but like the camera on the iPhone 4. I have taken a bunch of pics & videos with it, inside & out, low light and sunlight and I've always gotten a a great pic/video with auto settings unlike the camera on the OG Evo and Evo 3D. Hell any HTC phone for that matter. They make great phones but they always skimp when it comes to the camera.

I can post the original sized pictures and for comparison, they look good both ways.
I have to say it's very disingenuous to say that the camera sucks. I have two friends that are professional photographers and they both have been very impressed with the pictures I posted in the article. I looked to them both for advice on this article. Are they perfect? Of curse not. But they are still very good. I dont mean this to be disrespectful, but the problem also seems to be user, not just software. I also want to add that once you change the settings the settings typically stay that way so you don't always have to adjust them. At the end of the day there is a difference between having a bad sensor and having bad software. The EVO 3D is limited to bad software but can be helped by adjusting the settings.
One last thing. I originally posted the pictures in their true size. But thanks to Windows Live not playing nice with WordPress the entire article had to be redone and somehow the size was reduced. I can certainly post the original size later when I get home. I really hope the article helps people out with their picture quality. To those that don't agree, it's fine. Can't make everyone happy lol.
@major thanks for postin the article brosef lol

ONE MORE THING!! Dont use the camera button!! I completely forgot to mention that. But as much as I loved the idea of having a deticated button for the life of me they always come out blurry! I have no idea why. So I just use the onscreen button.
I cant get any good outside shots with the 3vo.... Look at this the first is shot with a sensation the other 3 are taken with my 3vo different settings each time nowhere near as clear focus is off, they are grainy just look plain terrible i literally just walked in from taking these
More taken today
The problem i am having is the when taking pictures, is the picture always looks dimmed after taking the shot. I could take a picture of the beach on a sunny day and it would look in the picture as if was a coudly day.All my outside shots are dimmed. And forget low light shots.I played around with settings nothing seems to matter. Not sure why check out the picture below, this is a picture on the beach bright sunny day out . Any idea's on whats going on here?
See my low lights are amazing i took this in a completely dark room no lights at all

Wow. That's really bad. I'd say part of the problem is the white balance. I think the EVO's white balance problem is really affecting certain images than others. I'll be going down the shore this weekend. I'll take some beach shots. No reason it should look that bad 0_o
I do wonder if there are some cameras that do have bad sensors... I've heard a few people on Android Central get an exchang and the new phone had better quality with no green tint..

Thanks a bunch for posting that article. Like you said "can't please everybody" Well you sure helped me out. I didn't know jack crap about the settings. Now I got a pretty good idea. I was always just a point and shoot type guy. Never messed with the settings cause I didn't know how they affected the rest of the picture. So thanks again.

I'd be interested in what other see when you put the attached on your phone and view it. Just drop the mpo file on the sd card under DCIM\100MEDIA and then view it via the gallery. Turn the phone landscape with the capacitive buttons on the right. When you hold the phone as you would to view any 3D image, you should be able to close one eye at a time and see two different images. If the phone has perfect separation, you'd see the word LEFT with only your left eye open and RIGHT with only the right eye open. But inevitably, you'll probably be able to see a faint ghost of the "wrong" word too ("LEFT" in the right eye or "RIGHT" in the left eye).
How much crosstalk do you see? I see a faint ghost of the "wrong" word indicating there is some crosstalk or ghosting but it's really pretty good separation. The ghosting on mine is pretty faint but I can still see the wrong (ghosted) word in each eye. The interesting thing is, on my phone, the amount of ghosting varies. On mine, the "T" in "RIGHT" is the darkest/worst.
I'm just wondering how much variation there is in our screens and if some are better than others. Be sure to close one eye at a time and fine tune the angle of the phone so you can get the best angle with the minimum possible ghosting.
Mike
Worked for me. I don't see the opposite with either eye closed. Pretty cool how that works. No ghosting at all.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Hmm. Ended up being pretty easy to take a picture of what I see through my left eye. Just use a camera and move to the left of center while looking through the viewfinder until the ghosted word is as dim as possible and take a picture. This is what mine looks like.
Mike
I Also don't see the opposite with either eye closed. Is cool indeed but wouldn't it just matter how your holding your phone ? If i slightly tilt it with one eye closed then i start to see the opposite word.

The key is to tilt the phone back and forth while closing one eye at a time so that you get the minimum amount of ghosting at one particular tilt: that's the best you'll be able to do with a real 3D image. Distance from your eyes also does make a difference so you kinda have to play with it.
Mike
Oh Lord. I hope this thread doesn't end up spawning another group of returns/exchanges. I just tested this on my wife's 3vo. Hers has a crooked screen and it doesn't show a trace of ghosting under the exact same conditions and brightness! Mine (with a straight screen) shows the ghosting problem. Not only that, hers keeps good separation through a much wider range of angles! Mine fluctuates a lot and it is VERY picky WRT angle. Completely different than hers.
One reason I tried this is that I've always felt that my first 3vo, one with a crooked screen, had better 3D depth and my new one with the straight screen just didn't have the same depth. Now I know why. I guess with these screens you either get a crooked screen or bad 3D. Wonder if there are any out there that have both a straight screen and good 3D? Both phones are HT16 serial numbers and 0002 hardware so they should have the same screen, right? If so, there seems to be some variation in how well the 3D works on these screens.
Mike
I guess I need to change my name. From this point forward you shall all refer to me as Ima. Ima Weetodd.
I looked through the 3D samples and the one with the river, rocks, and the mountains in the background looked especially bad. You could see ghosts of the rocks on either side and it really ruined the 3D effect. The Garfield 3D trailer from YouTube looked horrible too: hard to even resolve a single image. Visions of me going back to the Sprint store for a second exchange started to enter my mind. Until...
Guess what? I never would have expected this! I cleaned my screen thoroughly and NO ghosting at all now!!! It didn't even look dirty but apparently a thin film of finger grease is all that was needed to cause the ghosting. Apparently there was just enough refraction to cause a decent portion of the wrong side to get through to each eye. I repeated the separation test and looked at the pics/videos again with a clean screen: zero ghosting. Just to be sure I wasn't insane or switching the screen off/on wasn't what caused it, I actually rubbed my hands all over my face and then over the screen until I could see a faint film. I'm not a particularly greasy dude but that's all it tool: ghosts galore came back.
I guess if nothing else, I've learned a dirty screen REALLY affects 3D and if anyone has any question about whether or not their 3D is working properly, the image attached to the OP should serve us well.
Mike
I'm returning mine now I see ghosting
J/k . mine has absolutely no ghosting at all, the screen Has a slight tilt and its horribly dirty right now.

It is VERY sensitive to angle and there is a little ghosting but at just the right angle, it does work. Holding the phone portrait, only "LEFT" shows to the left eye and "RIGHT" shows to the right eye. If you are off even a fraction of a degree though, you start seeing the words appear in various primary colors as you tilt the phone. At just the right angle (face-on), it does appear to fully support 3D in portrait.

Have you tried using the wand icon to correct the issue? Mine works perfectly although I do feel I need to hold it with the right side of phone slightly closer to my face rather than straight on.

The "Adjust 3D alignment" feature adjusts how far apart the two frames appear via shifting the frames in/out a certain number of pixels. That will have no affect on ghosting: ghosting/crosstalk is an error in the alignment of the two parallax barriers on the screen. That gap/angle is not adjustable.

I've seen ghosting in some pics and was able to fix it buy using that feature. And sometimes in some media I can not get it to go away at all.

So what does pushing the shutter half way do? The camera already auto focuses, when I push it half way it doesn't do anything. When I push it all the way in it takes the picture.

I think it does nothing at all.
It should focus, but it's broken in the current version of nonsense4.0.
I've been messing with it a little and I think I figured something out. When the camera autofocus if you hold down the shutter half way it will lock the focus. Then you can move the camera to fine tune it. Pretty neat I guess.

Just tested it and I think you're right. I kinda like it now that I know what it does. When using third party camera apps pushing it halfway focuses it but doesn't hold from what I've found.

It does, indeed, lock the focus. For some reason there's just no visual or audio confirmation of that.

At least there is a way to focus it without touching the screen and having to hear that awful screeching sound each time

I've also noticed that, if you have flash set to Auto mode, holding the shutter button halfway for a second or two before taking the photo will prevent the flash from firing regardless of the lighting conditions. I don't know if this is a bug, or was intended, but it does provide a means to override the flash, if necessary.
it focuses the camera on whatever is dead center. or in the boxes that pop up over face focus points. if you touch the screen to "look"at an area other then dead center, the half-push will refocus on that spot. or, as I said before, just focus (refocus) on dead center. like of you ate looking at someone and say "step back" or something. its not programmed too smart
Not only does it lock focus, it also locks exposure. It's not really a manual focus button, it's an AEL/AFL button.
I would prefer a manual focus and AEL/AFL action like my pocket camera. Maybe in the future...
Hmm, Search button or AEL/AFL for the camera half press. Tough choice. Too bad it can't be both. Search when not in camera app, and AEL/AFL when it is.
im a point and shoot type of guy, so i would love to see a dev tweak the half press to focus
Stupid camera button
I absolutely adore this phone, but the camera button is awkward for me! I never really use it unless im talking on the phone and and then im just pressing it cause i know it wont do anything. at least i hope its not
